From Metal Tub to Creative Adventure

This tub looks like it is ready for the 4th of July.But what to do with it the rest of the year? It doesn’t really fit my decor.

Actually, I picked it up at a thrift store with the intention of transforming it into something else. I decided to spray paint it with black chalkboard paint.The next step was to hand it over to my grandkids’ creative imaginations.They decided to turn it into a pirate ship. After giving them chalk, PVC pipes, masking tape, paper, plastic lids with magnets taped to them and a few other supplies…aaargh!After playing pirates a while, they decided to turn the tub into a spaceship.I think they had as much fun staging their creations for picture taking as they did decorating the tub. I wonder what their imaginations will turn it into next time they come over?
